when i talk about you………i talk about me…….what i see in you…….i have in me……..what i do to you i do to me………my behavior towards you always effects me, more than you………… when i lash out at you, i lash out at me…….i expect to offer understanding and grace that i don’t offer to you………………

i got the news and it took my breath…….there are no words to express how my heart goes out to you…….it is impossible to know why people do the things they do……..the nature of man is corrupt and left to our own devices we are evil…….we need guidance, direction and correction…………that’s where God comes in…….…

just a couple dogs or a cat……………..just a modest home with a roof that doesn’t leak…….just a couple of kids that love us unconditionally…………..just a job that isn’t perfect but keeps the lights on and plenty of food on the table, as i look at my gut……….just a few dollars in the bank in case…

the people you have put in cages……have held you back from progressing to different stages and you wonder why you don’t grow…….because guarding them takes up so much of your time………….spiritual growth take a distant back seat……………. the captivity has held you captive as well and under a spell that the original offenses are so…

unlimited grace…………………give it a shot…………comes when i am willing to adopt a plan i cannot see or conceive…………a plan that takes me above my limited self………..to unlimited………………….. i would not worship a deity that could do no more than i am capable………………God affords me the power to do things i cannot on my own imagine…

the constant battle for me as i head out to see, is keeping the channel open and that means breaking the ice in front of me……..the ice forms when i become frozen, locked into a mindset, conclusions as to how things should be……………………….i have my basic tenants and they keep me from going against me………but…

in Your Hands i am complete…..in my hands i find defeat……… in Your Hands i fine serenity…..in my hands i find calamity…….. in Your Hands i am empowered to deal with the tasks before me…..in my hands the issues seem daunting and overwhelming…….. in Your Hands i feel protected and instructed……in my hands i feel…

what you are afraid of will determine what you see………..and that can trigger thoughts far removed from reality…………….so it’s nothing to be ashamed of, we all have our things………but only those who face their fears ever reach maturity……….. what are you afraid of……… the things we are unwilling to bring to light are the things…

for all intent and purposes in the scope of things i am just a grain of sand………………put in the proper perspective that is what i am………….so that would mean there are two ways to perceive………..one, i am not that important or two having the courage as most grains don’t…………………to be the grain i am supposed…

it isn’t easy for me to see what you see through your eyes………….but i try, and ask for your help so i can gather where you are coming from if i can’t catch a glimpse of what makes sense to you ………..might as well be talking to monkeys at the zoo i may not agree…
